Arcana Coelestia #1353
1353. Verse 24. And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah. “And Nahor lived nine and twenty years,” signifies the beginning of the eighth state of this church; “Nahor” signifies here, as before, worship verging to what is idolatrous; “and begat Terah,” signifies a derivation therefrom. Terah was a nation so named from him as its father whereby idolatrous worship is signified.
